عمل سے زندگی بنتی ہے جنت بھی جہنم بھی
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
والعصر ان الانسان لفی خسر . الا الذین امنو وعملو الصلحت ط
صدر ِذی وقار اور میرے ہم مکتب ساتھیو!
آج مجھے جس موضوع پر لب کشائی کا موقع ملا ہے وہ ہے ڈاکٹر علا مہ محمد اقبال رحمۃ اللہ علیہ کے شعر کا مصرع:’’عمل سے زندگی بنتی ہے جنت بھی جہنم بھی‘‘
جنابِ صدر!
اگرچہ پڑھنے میں قاری کو ایک مصرع نظر آتا ہے۔ لیکن اپنے اندر مفا ہیم اور مطالب کا ایک جہان آباد کے ہوئے ہے۔ علامہ اقبال رحمۃ اللہ علیہ قوم کو خواب غفلت سے بیدار کرتے ہوئے فرماتے ہیں کہ عمل کے بغیر تصور زیست ممکن ہی نہیں، زندگی حرکت وعمل کا دوسرا نام ہے۔ اوربے عملی یا جمود کا دوسرا نام موت ہے، عمل سے ہی زندگی کا بگاڑ ہے، اورعمل سے ہی زندگی کا نکھار ہے۔ جام زندگی کے دوام کا راز گردش پیہم میں پوشیدہ ہے۔ بے عملی نہ صرف انسان کو کاہل ، سست اور کمزور بناتی ہے بلکہ بے یقین اور بزدل بھی بناتی ہے، اس کے برعکس عمل انسان کومستعد ،معتمد اور معزز بناتا ہے۔ اقبال کے الفاظ ہیں :
چلنے والے نکل گئے ہیں
جو ٹھہرے ذرا کچل گئے ہیں
کلام پاک میں یہ بات قسم اُٹھا کر بتائی جارہی ہے کہ انسان نقصان میں ہے لیکن جو لوگ ایمان لائے اور نیک کام کرتے ہیں وہ نقصان میں نہیں ۔معلوم ہوا کہ انسان کا انسانیت کی معراج پر فائز ہونابغیر عمل کے ممکن نہیں۔ بقول شاعر:۔
خود عمل تیرا ہے صورت گر تری تقدیر کا
شکوہ کرنا ہو تو اپنا کر مقدر کا نہ کر
جو انسان صاحب عمل ہوتا ہے وہ اپنے کسی کام...
Peace has great importance both for the individual and the communal life. Wherever peace turned into unrest, the tendencies of social violence, mental sickness and insecurity start developing amongst the people. Peace and harmony were the hallmark of the reign of the 2nd caliph, Haḍrat ‘Umar. He gave the best governing mechanism to the people of Arab, when they were not fully aware of rules & regulation of government. Though the empire was wide spread, he exercised a great sort of command & control on it. He took the responsibility of providing his subjects their basic needs: Food, Shelter, Education, Peace and Justice. This was not only an ideal system of its time but became the role model for the modern welfare state. Peace and harmony is as important for a state as food & air are for life. Allāh has strongly emphasized in The Holy Qur’ān" on two things i. E., "Disharmony & hunger" which should be eliminated from a society. Haḍrat ‘Umer during his reign of 10 years presented Islām as a religion of peace & harmony, a religion, which respects humanity, peacefully resolves disagreements and curtails misuse of power. He himself possessed the qualities of peace & harmony to an utmost level, which were the traits of our Holy Prophet’s (ﷺ) personality. It is important to follow the Khilāphah of Haḍrat ‘Umar to bring peace & justice in the society.
Humans can effortlessly determine the gender of other person. This has stimulated interest to enable computer machine of accurate guessing the human faces as male or female. Major problems in face classification are due to the large variance in appearance in a digital image when it is captured / exposed to different lightning and unfamiliar pose. Gender classification has an extensive usage in numerous problems and domains. Automated gender classification is an area of great significance and has huge impact and potential for future research. Its use is significant in several industrial applications such as monitoring, security, surveillance, biometrics, commercial profiling and human computer interaction. Gender has been identified using different traits like gait, iris and hand shape but a major and significant work has been carried out based on face. Main emphasis of this research work is critical assessment of different methods used in Gender Classification and highlighting favorable and unfavorable factors of these existing techniques. In next sections methodologies have been presented for efficient gender classification in still images and animated videos and over smart phones. Schemes have been presented for these diverse medium of digital image processing. We have conducted experiments to identify gender for the comparisons purpose for both areas of focus i.e. consumer face images captured run-time and fictional characters in animated movies. Flow of work, implementation of proposed classification methodology and learning algorithm is part of this thesis. Main modules of Gender Classification task are image acquisition, face detection, image normalization, feature extraction and classification. Every task has been thoroughly iii investigated with state of art methods and then final modeling is proposed, implemented and tested.
